I was looking at some welding goggles but they said they were for oxy/acetylene welding only. Can someone tell me what's the difference between eye protection requirements for differnt types of welding, especially DC or AC welding versus gas-based welding?
Thanks,

The different types of welding produce an arc of different intensity and color temperature so the goggles ideally should match. If you want something compact for emergency use then there are simple face shields that you have to hold with one hand (gloved with long sleeve shirt of course) which are pretty small and flat. I have one as it was the freebie that came with my welder.
